Dear Family,
My wife and I send our condolence
to Aunt Alma's children,
my cousins and your families.
We were so very blessed to see your mother at Betty's funeral
August 11, 2010.  We know that she had a full life and was a faithful believer in Jesus and the promises.  Therefore she will live on.  We however will have to live with memories until we see her again.  Aunt Alma was very special to me as was your dad Uncle Davy.
I will be praying tonight and in the days ahead for the pain of her passing to soften and the memories to grow ever stronger.

Love,
Cousin Gary [Kathy] Orner
Hebron, Ohio
